Using the exercise files

- [Instructor] If you're a premium memberof the online training library,you have access to the Exercise Files I'm going to be usingthroughout the course.I keep them here on my desktop.These Exercise Files consist of both project filesthat end in .prel,and project assets which are are the videoand audio files we'll be using in the course.To open a project file, you just go to the File menu,select Open, and then open one of the project files.Make sure you're opening the project filesand not one of the project assets.

Project assets don't open from the File Open menu.They're imported into a project.But let's select, for instance, the interface project.Now, quite often when you open these filesfor the first time,they have trouble locating the assets for the file.You can see what happensas you get a little screen like this.And at the top of the panel it asks, where is Kayak1?You'll find Kayak1 in the Project Assets.There it is.

And when I click and select it,the program is going to automatically seethat all of the other assets it needsare right there in the same folder.And when I select it,it's going to automatically reconnect all of the filesfor my project.There they all are.And they are there in my Project Assets.That's a good thing.So select one.As long as the rest are in the same folder,the program will find them all.Now that everything's all linked up, we can proceed,and you can follow along with me.And even if you don't have access to these Exercise Files,don't worry; you'll still be able to follow alongusing your own assets.

But in any event, let's get started herewith Premiere Elements 2018.
